I don't believe in infinity.

Do you believe space is finite, or cyclical?

I'm not sure the two are mutually exclusive.  I believe there's a finite amount of matter, therefore, a finite space to house it. 

I think the ability to comprehend infinity is a function of the way our brains work, rather than a description of the way things really are.  If you accept the idea of the infinite divisibility of space, for example, you run into a paradox (you can't ever move from point A to point B because first you have to go 1/2 of the way to B, but before that you have to go 1/4 of the distance to B, and so on).  Reality doesn't work that way.  If you assume infinity is just a concept rather than a description of the way things are the paradox goes away.

Therein lies the rub. Present understanding forces us to contemplate, and thus develop beliefs. I do believe in infinity, while you do not, and we both know the probability of us knowing for sure. I do accept that infinity itself allows for the possibility of and endless cycle, as houck suggested. I did intend for this to be a thought-provoking discussion, and thus far it has not proven otherwise. Thanks for the input, Rev.
